What an epic battle that was. That ending had me confused for a while though, because Loras showed up with Tywin. Now Loras looks a lot like the wimpy Lannister cousin so I got them mixed up. But that wouldn't make sense because the cousin just got shot in the chest with a longbow. Then it dawned on me that Loras has actually taken Renly's army and allied with the Lannisters. So even though they're under siege, have an utterly incompetent king and a court full of backstabbers, they continue to get more powerful.

All because of Tyrion's maneuvering. Everything he did saved them, he should be King.

I think it's one of the Martells, the knight of roses looks even more gay

That's Loras Tyrell, the Knight of the Flowers and Renly's lover. In "The Old Gods and the New", Littlefinger convince Tywin to form an alliance with the Tyrells after Renly(who the Tyrells were supporting) was killed.

Things happened in the Ep, specifically with Dany that make me doubt the direction of the S3 onwards will follow the books as closely as the first two have.

Spoiler for House of the Undying:

Was quite different to the books, there was also no hint of the prophecy that was in the books, nor the flash back to Rhaegar and so on, or

Spoiler for book theory spoiler:

the hints that Dany and Jon may be brother and sister.

The part with the vault was a bit of a surprise. I had forgotten about that hand maiden. Bit of steel from Dany there. Dragons, so adorable.

Kings landing played out a bit differently, but Tyrion isn't terribly enthused with his sudden loss of authority, rightfully or wrongfully. He was doing a good job too, and he won't get any credit.

Loved the scene with Arya and Jacquen. Was waiting for that moment all season. Path of Darkness/Badassery: go now! He was so kick ass, hope they keep him on for later appearances.

That last part, was awesome. So, very awesome. First episode of next season should be quite interesting, I was hoping to see that this season but I guess they shall hold it off for the next, or heaven forbid the fourth.

Spoiler for Fist of the First Men:

Poor Sam, stuck out there with the undead hordes. That white walker looked awesome, totally look like Lich's with their army of zombies. Does Sam still have the 'Dragonglass' with him? I can't remember if he left that up top or not. I wonder if that was part of the reason the walker left him alive, or just to leave him as a witness.

Ofc he's a nice guy , people mustn't forget that bad guy are just actors.

Anyway , season 2 , i think the pacing was too fast & they skipped a lot of battle actions , like Theon's attacks at Winterfell.. also Kalheesi's part was just facepalm till the Dragon's fireballs...
Well , they were running out of moneys but still..
Looking forward to S3 as well as Breaking Bad & Walking Dead.

In case anyone was curious, season 2 will release as a BD/DVD combo in early February (as opposed to March like last time). They're also re-releasing season 1 as a BD/DVD combo on the same day, if you're OCD like that.

They have not yet announced Best Buy exclusive slip covers like season 1 had for either release yet, though.

Man, the second season felt a bit lacking compared to the first.. Then again, even when I read the books, I felt like Martin suddenly decided to take crack and throw in a bunch of additional random story / plotlines.. My fiance is a big fan of the series and she still agrees with me..

Anyways, we'll see how it all goes, I still remember being drawn to the first season so much I was raving about it at work like a lunatic..
